The redesigned Accutom cut-off machines from Struers are optimized for precision and ease of use to give the user a head start in the drive for perfect specimens. Packed with easy-to-use functions, they enable world-class cutting precision with a minimum of effort. The Accutom-100 includes a MultiCut function for extra productivity, and a grinding mode with multiple bi-directional sweeps between steps to ensure perfect planeness.
World-class precision
Positioning with fingertip precision is easy. The operating keys on the control panel move the specimen holder in the X-direction with 5.0 or 100 μm increments, and the cut-off/cup wheel motor in the Y-direction. Mounting the specimen holder directly on the X-movement arm ensures a high level of precision and parallelism.
Easy to learn and use
An intuitive user interface provides a clear overview of each method and related cut-off wheels. A smart turn/push knob enables fast selection of settings and large icons provide an easy-to-understand overview of functions.
Optimum preparation quality
Grinding mode is available on Accutom-100 and can be used for all types of material using multiple bi-directional sweeps between movements in the X-direction to ensure perfect planeness. Two grinding modes are available for accurate control of material removal to achieve the optimum preparation result.
KEY FEATURES THAT ENABLE PRECISION GRINDING AND HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY
-
Versatility

Rotation and oscillation for shorter cutting time
Rotation of the workpiece significantly reduces cutting time, e.g. for a tube or round workpiece, while oscillation prevents overheating when cutting hard materials.
